Morning Devotional Text from the Bible

Lift Up Your Head – Another Whisper

God looks down from heavenon all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. Psalm 53:2-3 NIV

I know why your soul is so downcast and your head facing the ground. Sin, more specifically, your willful violations of My conduct for life has weighed you down once again. Personal accountability requires someone that you will have to answer to for your actions. I am God, your Father.

Shame and guilt are gifts to let you know that there has been a breakdown in the relationship. The fool has said that I do not exist, therefore he hopes to cast off the thought that “one day, he will stand before Me to give account of all of his actions.” All have messed up and there are none that have escaped My knowledge of their actions and their heart thoughts. Everything is open and laid bare before Me.

Hear Me, please! As I sought out Adam when he disobeyed, I am looking for and seeking you. Always. My Son declared My heart plainly, “to seek and to save that which is lost.” Don’t let your shame and pride keep you from receiving My love, compassion and forgiveness.

No one is beyond My reach. I seek out those who are full of despair and without hope. For those sitting in darkness, I bring the light of life from My Son. My hope tears through the bonds of despair. I have good news for those who are trapped in captivity. My Son, secured life for those who are dead in sins and transgressions.

Right now, though your sins be as scarlet, I can make you as white as snow. I am the God who sees. I am seeking you out for a conversation. It is important to hear My perspective for your life, instead of replaying the old messages of never being good enough.

Lift up your head. I am looking at you with loving eyes. I do not desire to condemn the world, but I wish to save it for those who believe and love My Son. Even in your brokenness, I am always “for you”. Today, you needed to hear these words, once again. Listen for My voice.

I love serving the Lord Jesus in ministry for over 30 years. My wife, Pam and I have six children (4 are married). We also have 4 grandchildren. My children encourage me to continue to tell stories and share insights to encourage others. So I write daily text and I am working on several book ideas from children's literature to devotional material.
